KPIs & Performance
Freight Cost per Unit
Freight cost per unit measures the average transport cost per item, pallet, ton, or any defined unit of product. It is calculated by dividing total freight spend by the number of units shipped.
Why it Matters: This KPI links logistics directly to profitability. Tracking cost per unit helps identify inefficiencies, assess pricing decisions, and benchmark against industry peers. Even small improvements in unit cost can create significant margin gains at scale.
